Annot. Ad THES. IX.

Sicut decretum circa finem, seu decretum secundum proportionem decreti circa finem (stylo & phrasi horridis, hactenus inauditis, & mortalium captum penè superantibus) sta∣tim dixerat, sic (quid hoc [sic] sibi vult?) id quod decernitur (quid tibi est [id] istud? An ne{que} motio, nec movens, nec mobile, nec motus, nec res mou-facta? Quanta hîc con∣fusio, quantus tumultus?) sic id quod discer∣nitur, inquis, est effectus entis primi; à quo dependere omnium essentias, virtutes, * 1.1 actiones praecipuè boni supernaturalis, nullus dubito. Quid ergo? Hinc, inquis, vocationem (reconciliationem suprà * 1.2 dixeras) independente consilio producens (in fieri intelligis, dum productu∣rus est, an in facto esse, quando produxit? ambigua n. est oratio) tum per sapientiam, in∣quis, de forma deliberat, tum per voluntatem intendit secundum illam formam ex suppositione potentiae. Quid audis lector? Evangelium an scholam? Apostolos an Sorbonam? Tran∣seat hoc omne. Sapientia divina de recon∣ciliationis forma deliberat, voluntas secundum formam illam intendit, Potentia exequitur. Concedo. Perge.

Forma, inquis, illa exemplar est, & mensu∣ra veritatio in re, ut prout ipsa fuerit, sic rem fore necesse sit dependenter ab eâ. Audio, sed Cave ne mox, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, te fallas & incauto Lectori Scandalum objicias. Tam Metaphysica veritas seu rei, quasi The∣matis incomplexi auditur, posteà (ut mihi etiam liceat griphos loqui) Logicam Axioma∣tis affectionem, veritatem Thematis Com∣plexi, quasi formae dictae exemplaris exempla∣tum, veritas rei, esset veritatis Axiomati∣cae exemplar, deducere satages. Frustrà. Re∣conciliatio seu vocatio (quando visum est sic confundere) sit sanè res à for∣mâ * 1.3 istâ dependens. Non quae∣ritur verum de modo, & ordi∣ne, quem satius est eruditè ig∣norate, quàm in abscondita Dei 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 te ingerere. Hinc, inquis, undè, inquam? ex conditione in re non vult conversionem Deus (reconciliatio, vocatio, conversio, Christireceptio, idem tibi sunt; ve∣rùm quo Doctore praeeunte?) Ex? Absit, Quid si secundum? Non affirmo. Sine conditione non vult. Quid si asseram? Certè bonâ tuâ cum veniâ fecero, utpote qui receptionem Chri∣sti esse quid reconciliationi praerequisitum, modò bis 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, affirmaveras. Sed de his, post opportuniorem dicendi locum inveni∣am. Quomodo igitur vult Deus conversio∣nem?

Secundum deliberationem sapientiae suae, voluntas, inquis, intendit, & potentia exequitur immutabilis. Rectè, si dictio [im∣mutabilis] pro non mutandâ postquam even∣tum sortita est, vel actu superaverit humanam resistentiam, intelligatur. Quid balbutis? Eloquere: Potentiam intelligis irresistibilem; & hanc Deum exerere, clarè fatebo, in rebus, actibus{que} ab ipso solo, nullo mediante, pro∣ductis. Sed an Conversio &c. sint hujusmodi suo loco.

2. An satis has voces [secundum sapientiam & veritatem vult & potest] ad exactam dicen∣cendirationem & obrussam exegerit, Lector judicet.

Proind futuram, pergit, praevidet & virtu∣alitèr à voluntate pendentem. Futuram sc. rem. Quam? Conversionem, Christi receptionem. Praevidet futuram. Rectè, sed vereor an sensu tuo. A Voluntate Pendentem (Dei, intelligis, opinor) rectè: praecipuè: Sed quid sibi vult virtualiter? Nugae.

Hactenus fundamenta operosè, in meta∣physicae, nescio cujus arenâ, & scholarum quisquiliis jacta, mole quantumvis exiguâ ruunt suâ. Qui possunt ergo quae superstruuntur omnia non labi, non cidere? Tantum abest ut his fundamentis positis error concidat, nisi qui istis inaedificatur.
